Just posting pics of my hamster that passed a bit ago. I’m on college and miss him every day. I went to a ER to put him down after he started having respiratory distress at ~3 years. He was my emotional support animal during hard times and I miss him.
I (21F) have been with my boyfriend (21M) for 7 years. We started dating before our freshman year of high school and now go to the same college. I’ve been struggling recently because I feel like I’ve never done something truly special for him. When we were much younger (maybe 15) I threw a surprise party for him, but that was all. Because we go to the same school, I’ve never been able to surprise him like a long distance visit. Our 21st birthdays also just passed so I can’t do something for his birthday. I want to do something big for him that shows him I really care. I’m okay with getting him a big gift but I want something that shows more effort and is a bit more meaningful. Does anyone have any ideas for something I could do to really amaze him and show him how much he means to me?
I (21F) have been with my boyfriend (21M) for 7 years. We started dating going into our freshman year of high school and dated all throughout high school and now go to the same college. Our relationship is pretty great and he’s a great guy but there are some small personality things that I wish were different. We also have the same friend group in college which complicates things.
Recently I’ve started a new job and have developed a big crush on my coworker (21M). He is not my typical tile AT ALL but something about him gives me butterflies and has me crushing. I think he may also be into me, and I’m not sure if he knows I have a bf. Ever since meeting this guy I’ve been noticing more things I wish my boyfriend did differently. Last year something similar happened where I just started noticing everything my bf did that I wish I could change.
I know my boyfriend loves me, but I’m scared that I’m missing out on so many people and things by only dating him. We’re going into our senior year of college and I think after school our plan is to get engaged. I’m feeling scared about making the wrong choice and I’m scared of spending the rest of my life crushing on other men. But at the same time, I’m scared to lose my boyfriend. He’s the only person who I’ve ever loved/has loved me and I’m scared that once I lose him I won’t ever get something similar back.
Also, we’ve planned our whole lives together and breaking up would change my entire world. But at the same time, I feel like I’m young and still have so much time to discover who I am on my own.
TLDR: a crush (21M) has made me (21F) question my 7 year relationship with my boyfriend (21M). I’m scared to lose him and scared to miss out on my life.
